"Read-Aloud time has become an anchor for family life in our home. Taking time each day to read together has a way of centering our relationships. When we began learning with Sonlight, I was skeptical that my 6-year-old would sit and listen to an entire Bible passage, History lesson or Read-Aloud chapter, as his attention span is short. But Sonlight's books are so well-chosen that he's captivated from start to finish. He surprises me by recounting events from our reading with amazing detail, even recreating scenes for imaginary play. In their second year of Sonlight, Noah (7) and Elijah (9) enjoy The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great, their favorite Core C adventure.

My daughter has an understanding of history and geography that goes beyond that of most adults. She loves to read and has a vocabulary much larger than one would expect for her age. A large part of this is because of the great Sonlight books. We love using Sonlight because I am confident that all the planning is done for me. I don't have to scramble to make sure I am covering each time period adequately. Krystal (12) has used Sonlight since first grade. Here, she enjoys a Science G experiment where she identifies powders by testing their reaction to different substances.

Yes, Sonlight is the way we wish we'd been taught! This was our first year to homeschool and we loved every minute. Our favorite pastime is spending time at the lake. Before homeschooling, we were limited to summer and school vacations. This year, we just packed up our books for a week and went. It was that easy! Our kids love the freedom and couldn't wait to read their books on the pier every day. We made a lot of memories during family Read-Alouds. They've excelled beyond our greatest hope. Our hearts are filled with joy because they're becoming critical thinkers. Kevin (12) and Sydney (9) are using Core D+E in their first year with Sonlight.
